Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4783481, member: 12088"] I thought Caitlin played well and badly, and the dichotomy was more marked than usual. Yes, her team shot poorly overall and she had to carry them. But of course they’re exactly what she’s led them to be on offense. They played tremendous defense, won so many 50/50 balls, and generally outhustled VPI. Caitlin forced lots of shots, too many, and seemed to regress to her freshman habit of hunting fouls. It’s tedious, ugly basketball, relived by the occasional brilliant play. On the other side, I thought Amoore was almost as bad. Not so much of the hunting for fouls, but not enough getting her teammates the ball in useful positions. Too much one on one ball. She was a better point guard last season. And Kitley was also good and bad. She got lots of rebounds in the second half, but also she and her teammates let Iowa get too many offensive rebounds. And what is with her fall away jumper? Every time she takes that shot she effectively gives up on getting the rebound. I found her very frustrating to watch. On the basis of this game, I don’t think she’d be a first round draft pick.
